TiDal Tragedy

What happens when Mother Nature asserts its Supremacy . You get a deadly cocktail of an Earth Quake measuring 8.5 on the richter scale and a Tsunami measuring 10 mts ( conservative guesstimates) and widespread destruction .Never ever in my life have I seen a natural calamity so widespread and which has wrecked such havoc across so many countries. Ranging from Maldives,India,Sri Lanka and Bangladesh on one end and Thailand ,Indonesia on the other end. It was "Day after Tomorrow " revisited and the worst thing about this tragedy is that there is no one to Blame except nature(hoping that nothing goes wrong with the relief and rescue efforts ,we Indians are so famous for that ). Its feeding frenzy for the TV crews and any home videos which caught hold of the tragedy on tape are hot property. I have heard my own tales of the Earth Quake from my friend Venkat and its the usual thing "Car shaking big time","people running helter skelter" ,"things dropping from sky" blah blah blah.... Sri Lanka has declared a national emergency and its the "magnanimous" neighbor to its rescue. We don't know the status of Car Nicobar and other islands in the Andaman archipelago but we have no qualms in eagerly sending naval ships to Sri Lanka.

What is more tragic is that we as humans have devised ways to send rovers and have been able to navigate them millions of miles away from Earth but we don't have an idea as to what is happening right below our feet. But for the time being the Tidal fury has left behind a sea of destruction which has to be dealt with.
